"Here’s What We Should be Fasting…" (Isaiah 58:8-11) - Daily Manna - 04/16/26

Apr 16, 2026 • Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

What if the fast God desires has less to do with skipping meals—and more to do with surrendering selfishness?

In Isaiah 58:8–11, God exposes empty religion and reveals the kind of “fast” that truly pleases Him: letting go of blame, pride, manipulation, and self-centeredness... while pouring ourselves out for the hungry, hurting, and oppressed. When we choose His ways over our own, darkness gives way to light, wounds begin to heal, and His presence becomes real again.

If you’ve felt dry, distant, frustrated, or stuck in spiritual motions, this message is a powerful invitation to rediscover the heart of God.

Your breakthrough may begin with what you choose to fast from.
